Self-criticism is killing you | Mark MI Words

In this episode, I dive deep into the brutal power of negative self‑talk — the constant voice that tells people with mental illness they’re worthless, hopeless, or broken. I share my own battles with self‑criticism, suicidal ideation, and the lies my mind tells me daily, and how mindfulness, awareness, and connection have helped me fight back.

This isn’t about “thinking positive.” It’s about survival — learning to challenge the thoughts that can kill you. I talk about the woman who believed her trauma was her fault, the ways our minds sabotage success, and how I’ve learned to counter those dark voices with truth, love, and trust.

Because self‑criticism doesn’t define us — and I’ll be here next week. I hope you will be too.
